Chamber May Suggest Ambulance Purchasing Agent WHITBY (Staff) -- Centraljpolicy used by all major indus- purchasing of all supplies for both schools and municipal de- partments may be one recom- mendation coming out of a new tax and assessment investiga- tion committee in the town. The new committee has been ap- pointed by the Whitby Chamber' of Commerce for the purpose of surveying assessment proce- dures and the tax structure of the community. Commenting on the new com- mittee, John Pantony, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, suggested a central purchasing authority may be one answer to the complex problem. Should this recommendation, now under discussion, be adopted, a profes- sional person would be hired by the town. The person, termed a purchasing manager, would buy all items required by school boards and town departments. "This is only good business," the chairman stated, "it is a tries, The buyer, trained in his profession, knows where to go for the best bargains and can buy in bulk for all users." "Tf an industry was to oper- ate ind dent of a purchasi from settling in the town," he said. "There are a number of ca- pable people trying to do their best in their special fields," John Pantony said, "but these people are not experts. A com- mon ground through which econ- manager the various depart- ments within that firm would be ordering merchandise from half a dozen suppliers," he said. "This could result a greatly in- creased budget for the firm." The chairman stated the rec- ommendation was only in the discussion stage but may be one of a number of suggestions pre- |sented to the town council at a future date. The chamber of commerce chairman said the new commit- tee was not attempting to point a finger of blame at any one person or group én regard to the increased tax rate. "We do} feel an unreasonable high tax) rate will discourage industry, and commercial establishments | | jomies can be gained without sacrificing the major aims in the operation of involved groups may result from our survey." "This survey is being made by a group not directly involved in the collection of taxes and the spending of the tax dollar," the cairman said.

Shortly after yester- day's Times hit the street, the phone in the home of an execu- tive member of the club nearly jumped off the wall. The whole problem centred around a picture and an errone- ous caption which appeared on the Whitby page. The picture was of four young members of the club while the caption stated the Annual Carnival had i\received a large crowd in atten- dance. The ironical part of the affair is the carnival is sched- jluled for this Saturday at 8 p.m, "At first we thought it was very furny," a member of the club executive told a Times reporter Monday afternoon. \"Then we realized the serious- iness of the thing when the phone pears to i. ee wanted to know why the show | on ae en had been held vn agg vgn | night when in actuality it was baat the poor and unfortunate scheduled for this Saturday.

One had 29,- 000 miles on its speedometer and was in rough condition. The second had 60,000 speedometer" miles but hod been meti- culously kept in excellent shape. The deoler decided becouse ef ite poor condition to wholesale the 29,000 mile, mode! immediately but retained the 60,000 mile model te retail because of its excel- lent condition. In due time, however, he was forced to wholesale this model also because of buyer resistance to its high reed- ing. Some months later the dealer chanced to be talking to « service customer regarding a minor fault in his steering. He didn't recognize the man but he did recognize his car os the seme 60,000 mile vehicle he had reluctently wholesoled earlier. A serial check confirmed his ici : The owner stated that his "regular" dealer had been unable to fix the ailment and he was pleased when mechanics promptly spotted the trouble. "I really didn't expect anything serious," he soid, "since it has only 22,000 miles on it." When he was informed of the true history of his cer the cus- tomer wes naturally dismayed. But he still admitted thet the car had been very satisfactory regardless of its mileoge. Next time, it is to be hoped, he will look less closely at the speedometer, more closely at the condition and still more closely at the reputation of the dealer he buys from.
